Loop browser vs the loops in audio apple loops

My number is different in the loop browser. lets say
show all> i hit reset then all drums, the number is less than that that is what in the drum folder i have in the HD.
same for Guitar and others.
i.e. all the loops i have in the HD are not in the loop browser.
I have all prefs in Loop set to not filter and reset keywords.
is there a shortcut/proper method to show every loop i have in the HD showing in the loop browser.
I thank you all
and have a nice day making music.

Ht
an honor to hear from you
and i would hope you have 5 minutes to clarify or atleast add your thoughts here. I am puzzled by this.
I went ahead and bought thousands of loops from third party.
i have 2486 elect guitar loops.
and 349 acoustic guitar loops. filter is off
they are reindexed.
In the apple loops folder where i store all the loops, i have created folders for each instrument ( as close as i could associate them ).
i have the guitar electric folder ( 2486 loops ) acoustic (349 ) harp etc etc etc. If i type in names they show ( most seem to ) but one cannot memorize names of 10,000 loops. I cant!
so if i go into the lbrowser i am expecting to see in all guitars a number almost equal to about 2800. Now you say time signature will mismatch that. But you see there is a mismatch of about 600 guitar loops!? that doesnt make sense does it? they are residing elsewhere, where i do not know except ofcourse in my meticulous folder Guitar electric on my HD.
1. Reindexing makes sure that every loop in my HD is in the loop Browser isnt that the case. I dont remember if i dragged all of them over the browser or not.
2. It seems to me ( and see no other options here ) that if i want to be able to peruse all of my loops and have them accessible i have to have the lib>audio>apple loops>folders of loops open so that i can choose those that are not being brought up in the browser and as you say have time signatures that are different?
how do i then bring up those no shows in the browser if they are not showing up ( acc to you )due to signature problems because they might be usable if edited?
3. i could check off favorites couldnt I and then have maybe 2000 loops to chose from. Aint this a kick in the ***?
Im trying to organize as best i can what loops i have on the HD
so that i can see them exactly organized and neatly in the browser, but APPLE has made this very very difficult i think.
i appreciate your time thoughts and forgive me for insisting on an answer here which i may not get.

GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser. Then I get this message...
Instrument Library Invalid
GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
Any solutions?

Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library.
Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup- If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?

Error on start: Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

I get the error "Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
Without this directory you can not use the LoopBrowser. Please make sure this directory exists" when starting Garage Band. I also cannot use the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing in GarageBand. All other sounds work fine.
The only thing that changed since I last used GB was that I installed Leopard. (and that was a while ago, so I thought all was well and got rid of my last Tiger backup. )
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How can I change the tuning (pitch) of apple loops with logic?

how can I change the tuning (pitch) of apple loops with logic? Is it possible at all ??? Cant get a clear information . I´m a user of Logic 9.14

Thanks.....but... How to change the pitch within a song arrange, lets for example say the loop is in F in original tune and i want him to be played in the song arrange maybe in A.... when i draw it in the arrange window, the tune goes back to the original...

Changing the default location for apple loop libraries

Hey. I've got a new external disk with a different name to my previous one. When logic loads, it looks for the apple loops in 500GB/samples... My new drive is 1TB/samples. Does anyone know where i should specify the location in logic as it is not currently loading the libraries. Thanks

You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

How do I change the rhythm style in apple loops?

Most of the drums in apple loops are 4/4. Where are rhythms like in "This Boy" (The Beatles) , or like in "Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd) ?
Can you transform a 4/4 to a rhythm like described above?

"This Boy" if memory serves is in 12/8. I think there are some 12/8 tempos in Loop format. Even if there are not you can "crazy up" your tempo by dragging and "sorta like" loop into the arrange panel and whittling off the bits you don't like, or duplicating additional meter into an individual bar. Then you can duplicate it.
One size rarely fits all; sometimes you have to tailor stuff to fit your needs.

Only some of my installed loops are appearing in the loop browser

I'm fairly new at GB, but I thought I used to have more loops when it was first installed. One of the recent updates may have changed things?
For example, I can now only see four Acoustic Pickings: 04/05/19/21. This is with no filters applied in the browser of course.
Does that seem right? If I look in my Apple Loops for GarageBand folder in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple, I see Acoustic Picking 01 through 21 inclusive -- that's 21 .caf files, not just the 4 visible in GB.
I have tried re-indexing (multiple times) using this tip, with no change:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/ReIndex.html
Is this a known issue or am I missing something please? Thanks!

Thank you HangTime (and the trusty FAQ) -- this was my problem:
Turning off "Keyword Browsing" in GarageBand's preferences will allow all Apple Loops to be displayed regardless of key (the time signature requirement still applies).

Loop Browser Crashes Logic

I have "upgraded" from Logic 7 to 8 (actually a downgrade in my opinion) and then to Logic 9. Now in L9, the Apple Loop browser crashes logic. It will not reindex. I can't play anything back, any activity in the browser crashes Logic. I've seen this post;
Rebuilding the loop index :
Quit Logic if it is open.
Place the folder /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index/ in the trash. (Note: GarageBand 1 and Jampacks 1-3 used a different location. See Where loops get installed for more information).
Open Logic.
Drag the folder /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/ from the finder into the Loop Browser in Logic.
Will this fix the problem? I'm concerned that this may screw up my browser in L7 or L8 both of which I continue to use. I also have a lot of 3rd party Apple Loops that are in the browser.. what will happen with these?
Any help is appreciated.
Dan Rad

Those instructions you found somewhere are probably fine, but you might as well use the Apple version. Follow this procedure: "Logic: Rebuilding the Loop Index."
It will probably solve the problem, and it won't do any harm.
If it doesn't solve the problem, there are some other things we can try, so let us know.

Jam Pack 2 & 3 loops don't show in loop browser

When I add the Jam Pack 2 & 3 loops to the loop browser, they do not appear-how can I get the loops to show up ?

Here's the method to reindex I was given at another forum (worked for me):
1-Open the loop browser
2-Search for a default apple loop (for exemple 70s ballad drums 01).
3-Search the "70s ballad drums 01.aif" file in your finder. It should be in "HD-Library-Audio-Apple Loops-Apple-Apple Loops for GarageBand".
4-Drag the "70s balla drum 01.aif" file to your desktop.
5-In the Logic Loop browser, select the "70s Ballad Drums 01" loop.
6-Logic will tell you it can't find the file and ask you if you want to re-index all your appleloops.
7-Go back to your finder and, replace the file to it's original folder.
8-Click on "Reindex Loops" in your Logic loop browser.

Double / Triple copies of loops in loop browser.

This is probably really common occurance, but I haven't been able to find a thread on it here.
I have multiple copies of certain, but not all loops listed in the loop browser, when i use the loop browser search function.
If I just list the loops by category, or by instrument, they appear singularly. However, if I search for a loop, i get multiple copies listed.
Reindexing does not help.
Note:
I have checked the loop locations:
/ home / library / audio / apple loops /user loops/ (loop folder)
and
/ home library / audio / apple loops / user loops / single files /
and
/ root library / audio / apple loops / single files /
There is only one copy of the loops in question among all of those locations.
Any ideas?

I would do the following:
Trash the content of home/library/audio/apple loops index/ and the same in the root library. Restart the computer and then manually drag and drop your apple loops folders (default locations are in root and home libraries, audio folders) on the loops area in Logic arrange window. Perhaps this helps??? And if it doesn't, it means you have your loops doubled, I belive...

Saving apple loops

What's up. I can not find my apple loops in the browser. i'm saving it in the wrong place. i believe it's going to my documents folder. How do I save my loops in the write place

> whenever I save apple loops they end up in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/
Same here... It doesn't matter where they actually are, as long as you know the location, in case you'd have to re-index them. And, even if you didn't know, you could still gather your sheep by performing, in Finder: command-F, a search for the "creator" attribute, with "stlu" as the value field.

How to delete an Apple Loop ?

Hello !
First of all I use Garageband 10.1. I just created an apple loop and i want to delete it. How can i do this ?
Thanks in advance !

Theodore,
quit GarageBand and delete the loop from your user library. The loops get installed in the folder
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/
After deleting the loop, reindex all loops. You can do that in GarageBand from the op-up menu at the top f the Loop Browser.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default:
Quit GarageBand .
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options". Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/
and remove your loop.

Apple loops again... again

I installed the new Garageband, but decided to work in Garageband ´11 (5) instead. Fine.
But something happened with my apple loops. I have no flutes anymore, occationally i found one that the system didn't recognize, a mideveal flute. I bought the full packet of loops that can be added to Garageband 10, where do I find them? And how do I add all the loops to Garageband '11......... I try to read former letters on this issue, but haven't found out anyting. For example this page http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1045 . Both places they tell me to find loops in
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/ or /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/
have empty folders, are the loops hidden? Or the folders are not placed like this.
As I understand form another discussion, when I find the loops I can just drag them to Garageband, loopsbrowser for Garageband to find them.... is it true?
Bodil

Hi Léonie
Thanks for your answer... :-)
I had lots of loops in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/
I removed them to a folder on the desktop.
The folder /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/ didn't exist'
And I had no loops in the folder
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
I deleted the loops and opened garageband, still some loops in garageband ?????
I dragged the loops to the loopsbrowser anyway... ?????
Now I have two new flutes and no medieval flute in an new song.... but still the medieval flute in an old song???
Now all the loops shows in the user folder
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
And the following folder is empty /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/
Wonder where do the resisting loops hide? This is the great answer and how do I find them???
:-) Bodil

"Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser".

I recorded a Drum loop from my Korg m50 workstation into logic pro 9.
After recording i tried to import that loop into Apples loop library. After doing so i get this message.."Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser."
What do i do?
Please help.
Thanks
Rohan

I've recently gotten this error when I try to drag an audio file into the loops library (to create an apple loop.)
Comes along with Result Code=-43.
I'm trying to quantize some rhythmic loops using flex, then turn them into apple loops for the library.
My process:
Take original audio.
Flex it using slice mode.
Bounce in place.
Drag new region into Loops browser.
Errors ensue.

Apple Loops and the Loop Browser

maybe I'm missing something here, but whenever I save an edited audio file (or loop) with Apple Loops I can never seem to find the same file in the Loop Browser.
(unless that is how the app is suppose to behave ...)
I assumed the Loop Browser behaves somewhat like Logic's Project Manager, referencing and finding files that are associated with Logic Sessions.
Long story shot, how can i save my edited Apple Loop files and still find them using the Loop Browser
Thanks.

The additional content is not just the loops. It is also all the samples for the instruments etc.
You are correct, however, in the method of moving the loops.
